Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Girls like Shinohara Satsuki did not dare to make any discordant remarks at this time, fearing that they would be judged like before, so they behaved very well.

This is undoubtedly the effect that Hikigaya wants.

The D class he hoped for was the kind of class that had rewards and punishments, and most importantly, a reasonable unity achieved under the conditions of certain rules.

In comparison, Class D, previously led by Yosuke Hirata, was a chaotic melting pot. There were no punishments and no rules, and unity was maintained purely by self-consciousness. The result was that anyone could act recklessly in the class, accuse each other, and attack each other.

After witnessing the current Class D, Yosuke Hirata obviously realized his mistake and deeply regretted his stupid behavior.

Everything is going in a good direction.

Except for Hikigaya himself, who was completely sent to hell.

Yes, after accusing Hirata Yosuke in front of everyone during the day, Hikigaya was regarded as an annoying outlier by the entire Class D.

Not only was he deliberately excluded from night work, he was also arranged to keep watch in the most remote places.

Everyone gave him a cold look when they passed by him.

"cut……"

"How dare this dead fish-eye guy stay here? Why hasn't he been driven away yet?"

"Horikita is too biased. Maybe he just feels sorry for him."

"..."

Even though Hikigaya was already at the farthest point from the camp, the sound from the campfire was still transmitted in a form that he could hear.

It was obvious that Hikigaya's angry response to Hirata during the day had made him a pariah in the entire D class, and everyone looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

Both boys and girls started whispering to each other when they saw him.

If words could be transformed into physical attacks, Hikigaya felt as if his back was filled with arrows.

Amid the rustling noise, Hikigaya heard several familiar voices.

"That guy Bi Penguin is really one step ahead of me. He used to always argue with me!"

Yamauchi, you really like to kick someone when he's down...

The most important thing is that Hikigaya discovered that Yamauchi was actually talking to many girls about himself.

It seems that by taking advantage of this opportunity to criticize himself, a bad guy like Haruki Yamauchi has gotten the chance to get along harmoniously with the girls.

However, judging by the other party's behavior, they will soon be disliked and then excluded.

"Hikigaya... he's not that kind of person. Even though he has a bad personality, he's not usually like this."

"Karuizawa, you are actually speaking well of Bipenguin?"

"Are you too kind, Karuizawa? That guy severely bullied your boyfriend Hirata! You can't repay evil with kindness like this!"

"This……"

In response to his classmates' words, Karuizawa gave a wry smile.

At the same time, only a very few people in the entire class still care about themselves.

Among them was Sakura Airi, who never participated in the topic directed at her from beginning to end, and even kept looking at her with worry.

Hikigaya then smiled back, telling the other party that this was nothing at all, while continuing to keep watch in his own secluded corner.

For him, the matter was completely over.

He had no complaints and could even be said to be very satisfied.

The more the people in Class D hated him, the more it proved his existence as a lone ranger, so they could just ignore him.

On the other hand, after solving the problem of Class D, Hikigaya can now finally free up his hands to deal with Class A and get rid of the Katsuragi faction that Sakayanagi has been obsessed with.

He has already determined the method to deal with the Katsuragi faction. With just some simple operations, Katsuragi's efforts will be completely in vain.

What Hikigaya cares about is whether he should do this or not.

Katsuragi has no particular grudge against him, so isn't it a bit too much to make Katsuragi Kōhei experience hell just to get Sakayanagi's help?

But in the end, Hikigaya's desire to go home and see his sister overcame his apology to Katsuragi.

At worst, I can find a way to compensate Katsuragi later.

I can only apologize this time.

……

Silent all night.

Five days on the uninhabited island passed quickly, and time came to the sixth day of life on the uninhabited island.

After resolving the internal problems, Class D regained its unity. The boys and girls no longer had any conflicts and began to work together in their daily production and life.

According to Hikigaya's observation, this unity is not false, and Class D has begun to act more like a team after experiencing this incident.

Uh, but there seems to be something wrong with this sentence.

After all, Hikigaya himself was a member of Class D, so saying "observing from the sidelines" seemed a bit strange.

"It's time for roll call, everyone assemble."

The daily roll call began again, and Chabashira Sae-sensei appeared from the front of the camp.

"Hirata, is everyone here?"

Chabashira Sae habitually went to Hirata Yosuke to ask about the situation.

Hirata said with a strange expression: "Sorry, teacher, I am not the head of this class for the time being."

"You are not in charge anymore? Then who is in charge now?"

Chabashi Sae was also somewhat surprised by this answer and asked in confusion.

"It's Kushida-san and Horikita-san. You can go find them if you need anything."

"This……"

Chabashi Sae glanced calmly at the scene, and she quickly realized that the situation in Class D had changed dramatically without her noticing.

So she coughed and spoke slowly: "It seems that you have been through a lot, but as long as the time is not over, this exam will continue. Please do not take it lightly."

"Ok."

The students nodded earnestly one after another, and the atmosphere of unity was visible to the naked eye.

Although Hikigaya was standing at the very edge, he was still affected by this atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the cold eyes of the students around him made him come to his senses and he did not join in the shouting.

The roll call time ended quickly.

Hikigaya separated from the group and let out a long sigh.

Everyone walked together on the way back to the camp, happily discussing today's work, but Hikigaya was destined not to receive any invitation.

But even if what happened yesterday hadn't happened, the possibility of him being invited would have been slim.

Looking at the students passing by him one by one, Hikigaya yawned silently.

He also unexpectedly saw Shinohara Satsuki meeting him, but the other party pretended not to see him the whole time and kept his eyes fixed straight ahead.

Compared to Qigaya, Shinohara's approach is too naive.

After all, to truly ignore someone, you must not even be aware that you are ignoring them.

Before returning to the camp, another figure appeared in front of Hikigaya.

Karuizawa Megumi noticed him and walked over with a confused look on her face.

"...H-Hikigaya."

"what happened?"

Hikigaya noticed that Karuizawa's expression was very gloomy, so even though he had a lot of things to ask him, he didn't say them right away.

After a moment of silence, Karuizawa Hui suddenly bowed and said through clenched teeth: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"What did you do wrong?"

Hikigaya pretended not to notice and asked.

Karuizawa's face became even gloomier, and he rubbed his hands in panic, "I was the one who used the points privately by the girls. I was coerced by the girls at the time, and I really had no choice..."

"Why didn't you come to me? Did you come up with this idea on your own?"

Hikigaya asked curiously, this was the thing he couldn't understand the most.

Even though Karuizawa was forced to use points privately because of the girl's coercion, the other party could have informed him before taking action.

But Karuizawa didn't do that?

He couldn't understand why the other party acted like this.

After being stunned for a moment, Karuizawa realized that his behavior was problematic. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Yes, it was Ayanokouji-san... He accidentally suggested that if we let the girls use some points in private, we could appease the girls and prevent the class from falling into chaos. After I heard what he said, I thought it made sense, so I..."

Ayanokouji?

Could it be that Ayanokouji was behind all this?

Chapter 302: I don’t have the eyes of a lion, I just have a pair of dead fish eyes!

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka...

The moment he heard this familiar name from Karuizawa Kei, Hikigaya inexplicably did not feel particularly surprised.

He even felt relieved that it was just as it should be.

After all, from the first moment they arrived on this island, Hikigaya had noticed that Ayanokouji had become more and more concerned about class affairs, and even had a stronger subjective initiative.

But in fact, the other party has not had any impact on this class so far.

This reality made Hikigaya feel very strange. He couldn't understand what Ayanokouji had been doing on the island for so long.

The great devil wouldn't be slacking off the whole time, right?

That would be too low a price.

Hikigaya might even doubt his own judgment.

Therefore, now that he knew that it was Ayanokouji who secretly influenced Karuizawa, Hikigaya could be said to have breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was sure that Ayanokouji was indeed taking action, and was not secretly carrying out some plan that he was unaware of.

However, I didn't expect Ayanokouji to use Karuizawa Megumi as the entry point.

Although Karuizawa is indeed a person who interferes with the class very well, his personality is not so easy to control. The most important thing is that it is difficult to guarantee that someone like Karuizawa will act according to his ideas.

Ayanokouji's choice to influence Class D through Karuizawa may have been a helpless move in some cases.

After all, under the circumstances at the time, if one wanted the girls' group to stop causing trouble, manipulating Karuizawa to influence Class D was the only option.

In fact, Ayanokouji did succeed.

In a state of anxiety and confusion, Karuizawa chose to follow Ayanokouji's advice and temporarily eased the class conflict within Class D by letting the girls use more points in private.

Unfortunately, this conflict was eventually completely ignited by Hikigaya, who solved the problem in his own way.

"Ugh……"

After summing up everything, Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh.

He became increasingly aware that there were enough troublesome people in this class, and that the final outcome of this incident was entirely the result of the influence of multiple parties.

Karuizawa Megumi, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, Hirata Yosuke, Shinohara Satsuki... Even if one less person from Class D was causing trouble, the conflicts in this class wouldn't have reached the point where everyone was doomed, and in the end they would have to rely on Hikigaya to come over and self-destruct to save the situation.

A class like this actually dreams of reaching Class A. Just imagining it, I can't help but feel that the future is going to be difficult and I worry for this class from the bottom of my heart.

On the other hand, Karuizawa Megumi obviously didn't know what Hikigaya was thinking.

She thought Hikigaya was helpless about her stupid choice and disappointed that she didn't explain everything in advance.

For this, Karuizawa lowered his head in panic and said unwillingly: "Hikigaya, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I was too self-righteous at the time. I thought that maybe I didn't need to bother you and could solve the problem with my own strength..."

Karuizawa would use points privately, part of which was indeed induced by Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

But the key reason why Ayanokouji's inducement was successful was that Karuizawa himself did have this desire.
